A bunch of my co workers tried to get tickets and it sold out in 40 seconds and they are so upset they couldn't get them. I'm trying to explain to them why would you want to see short sets of bands only doing radio hits while hearing random people yell how excited you should be from the stage in between sets.

Well both days sold out! So that means there are plenty of people who can pay 'insane' pricing! They are the type of people who would go to Coachella if they could sit down on a proper assigned seat and eat a slice of pizza with a knife and fork.

I have a co worker who's such a douche when it comes to live shows. He always wants me to invite him to concerts and I did it once and it was a nightmare.

He was so upset at the following things:

1. He didn't have nice comfy seats because standing is beneath him.

2. The band that played didn't have enough songs he heard on the radio. He wants a show full of hits.

3. He doesn't ever want to wait in line for anything. Not even the restroom.

4. He wants everyone working at the venue to make him feel like a VIP.

5. He wants there to be cheap and/or free food and drinks.

The guy is such a retard. He said if it doesn't meet that criteria then it's not a civilized event and wants nothing to do with it.

Yet he wants me to invite him to shows because he wants to be in the action.

I gave him a new term I came up for people like him, he's a BBB, Big Baby Bitch.

He's the music fan I hate, and if he thinks I'm inviting him to another show, he's lamer than I can even describe in words.

He also said that the venue I took him to was a crappy dive, it was Club Nokia. Really? He thinks that' a crappy dive. What a loser.

I know its scary how many people are like that.

Living in Las Vegas, my wife and I get a whole bunch of relatives coming to visit. Times we agree to meet them and we suggest meeting at a restaurant and they will chose Chili's, Applebee's or if they think they are classy Outback or PF Changs.
We will take them to some local Thai, Chinese or Mexican restaurant and the disgust is evident over something like mismatched decor.

It amazes me you still occasionally still find these folks at Coachella and Glastonbury. I overheard two twenty-something yuppies at Glastonbury complaining about the amount of time it took to change sets.
Person 1: "Why do Elbows need thirty minutes to set up a stage?"
Person 2: "Yeah like at the Brit awards they can change in 5 minutes"
Person 1: "It's not like they even have dancers or shit"

The 23rd is the same day as the Soundgarden show at the Joint and the TVOTR/Arctic Monkeys show at Cosmo. If this fest helps keep some douches away from those events, then it is definitely worth having here in town.

I have no problem with several of the artists on the bill, I just have a problem with this event.

It's hype for hype's sake. It's bands just playing hit songs in an annoying setting.

I have a feeling Ryan Seacrest is going to be there saying stuff that would make me vomit in my seat.

I find that the general rule is that the bigger the event, the lower the intelligence of the average attendee. The intelligence pool gets more shallow when it comes to huge events.

Now there are some exceptions, if the event is hard to get to (so you really have to want to go), or it's generally not know in the general media, or features lots of non-mainstream bands then that increases the average intelligence of the attendees.

People are lame and generally don't do the following:

1. Make music decisions on their own. They like to read about it in Entertainment Weekly music buzz section or hear about it on one of the many entertainment news lite shows.

2. Travel a far distance for an event. They would rather have it be in the center of a major city with easy access or at have it right near their home.

3. Have to research the event at all. They just want to be led into the event and told where to sit like sheep waiting to be shaved.

4. Discover artists that are new and exciting that don't have any hit songs. The average person doesn't even know the name of the band or the lyrics of the song they are listening to, they just like it because the media is forcing it down their throat and it's catchy.

One of my co-workers claims it's the act of a music psycho to actually know what you are listening to. They said, they just like to hear the tunes and not go any deeper. Most of the stuff they like is terrible any way.

They are the ones who thought Fleet Foxes were Fire Foxes and Deadmau5 was Deadman.

Apparently this is going to be a yearly event. They are going to announce the line up to this year's festival Monday. It's Sept. 21st and 21nd in Las Vegas again. They are announcing the line up Monday 9 AM eastern.

You know who would love this? My sister. My sister who literally started yelling me because I've never heard the whole "Call Me Maybe" song before. Yep she was mad because I didn't know it was the "biggest song" the past few months. Yep this is right up her ally.
